although the latest "washington post" poll shows they are improving. the president's favorability is now 52 in that poll. mitt romney's is at 41. romney's unfavorable is at 45, which, as they say, is underwater on that. it's a big jump, though. a big improvement for romney, who in april had a favorability of only 35. president had a four-point higher favorability of 56. so that favorability gap is closing. but the president still has a significant lead over romney with it. that is the polling that indicates there's a vulnerability for romney on character. >> oh, i absolutely agree. i mean, i wouldn't read too much into the jump in his favorability. a lot of that is just republicans who waited fvr to get blind mitt romney. finally at this late day saying, yeah, we like the guy. we're with him. a lot of that is at work there. i'm thinking of the slogan you just quoted from john's piece there. whether they use it or not, there's another aspect of the massachusetts record that speaks directly to it. one of the reasons why romney left massachusetts and so u

we had friends -- it's past tense now -- in washington, d.c. they've been together for over a decade. one partner went out of town on a business trip. came back, opened his apartment door. and his partner was on the floor, having passed out -- or died of a heart attack in his absence. the deceased partner's relative was a lawyer brother in boston for whom had been estranged. he came and took everything. the laws were against the one that -- they shared their lives and their fortune and yet he lost t all. so this grieving partner lost not only the love of his life, but everything that they had built together. there's that kind of injustice. and this barrier that we insist on, legalistic barrier that we insist on putting up is to me unfathomable. in the case of our being incourse rated in the second world war, we looked different. we were visibly identifiable. but in the case of homophobia, we are literally members of a family. we are sons and daughters of heterosexual parents. we are brothers and sisters. we are literally kin, blood kin, and yet
